I havent downloaded the new patch yet. All my players are bought under the old patch and this data update could mean my team gets significantly worse. I'll start a new game with it tho in a while.

This addition is really annoying. my squad is about 27/28 players, which is more than enough for me. Bloody stupid chairman goes and fvking buys washed up grandpa Marquez 29 years old for 25m Euros
and then he goes and buys Alexander Hleb 27 years old for 114m Euros!!!!!!..all the money i made gone in a puff. fvking great!
I'm gonna try and sell both of them at the end of season. I dont think i'll get more than 25/30m for both of them.

I sold Hleb for 29m, and Marquez for 11m Euros. The chairman wanted big names again, and so i signed Saviola for free, taking Miccoli place (sold him for 7m), and also got Joaquin for 66m. I had around 60m money left after all of these transfers. The bloody chairman still wanted "big names", so he went on to by Diego for 84m Euros, and Adriano for 112m Euros. I already have Gila, Torres, Pazzini, Robinho, and two promising youngsters + Saviola, but i play him behind strikers. And now the club is in debt. I sold Aquilani for 18m, and will sell one of Pazzini or Robinho during the January transfer.
The new patch is a fvking joke. I cant even sign players from south america even if i sell some of the non-EU players that i currently have.

I thought game crack is illegal
I thought game crack is illegal
The main reason they're a no-no is that people can play games they've never owned if they have a crack and borrow/rent the game. Of course, the rest of us get our rights limited in the pursuit of profit.
If you sell a Non EU player to a club in Italy, they get his non eu spot and you lose one. For example, Livorno has 4 non EU spots and Juventus has 9. If they sell Mutu to us they'll lose one and have 3, while we'll gain one and have 10. That way the amount of foreigners in the league is fixed. If you sell or buy a non eu player from abroad you dont lose nor gain a non eu spot.
P.S. if you sell all of your non eu players to Italian clubs, you'll lose all their non eu players. You can still buy non eu players from Italy, but not from abroad.

I've started a game with Udinese. Bought Bierofka for 1.5m and tried to get Legrottaglie, the offer was accepted but he chose Reggina over us. I want Cesar Delgado but I don' have the money atm and I'm not keen on selling Jankulovski, Pizarro, Di Michele or Iaquinta either. I think I'm going to use what money I do have to purchase a defender. I'm looking at Montero. I want to play a 5-2-2-1/3-4-3 with attacking wing backs. Bertotto, Kroldrup and Felipe are the central defenders, Alberto plays on the right, Jankulovski on the left, Pizarro and Pinzi are usually the two centre mids, Di Michele is at AMR with an arrow to FR, Bierofka is at AML with an arrow to FL, and Iaquinta is the lone striker. I'm trying to emulate Chelsea's trident attack with one SC (usually Gudjohnsen or Drogba for them) and two wide attackers (Robben, Duff -> Di Michele, Bierofka). I've played 3 pre-season games, won all 3. There's no place in the starting line-up for Di Natale but he could be useful off the bench. Pazienza, Muntari and Mauri give the midfield some depth.
Any advice in terms of cheap purchases would be welcome.

I'm also midway my secon season with Udinese and I went completely the other way. I sold Pizzaro and Jankulovski right away (Pizzaro doesnt want to extend his contract anyways) and a lot of the other playerts (Fava, Pinzi, Muntari, etc) and now I have a team that looks nothing like Udinese's
I have Mexes, Bonera, heitinga, Kompany, Kapo, D'Agostino, van der Vaart, Hleb, Mascherano, Sneijder, Crespo, Delgado, Cavenaghi, Zlatan, etc. Got Baptista and Torres coming in as well.

I transfer listed Fava and Muntari for a while but no one made bids and they are good squad players anyways. I had offers accepted for Veron, Aquilani and Montero but all three of them snubbed Udinese. Had I been able to sign Veron or Aquilani I would have been willing to let Pizarro go but those moves didn't go through so I kept David. Jankulovski fits into my system nicely and Pinzi is my first choice DM so I kept them. As of now I've brought in two players: Daniel Bierofka who has been superb in pre-season, and Alberto Sardo, a very promising attacker.
Starting XI:
GK - De Sanctis
DC - Bertotto
DC - Kroldrup
DC - Cribari
DMR - Alberto
DML - Jankulovski
MC - Pinzi
MC - Pizarro
AMR - Di Michele
AML - Bierofka
FC - Iaquinta

No one wants to play for me. I had an offer for Khalid Boulahrouz of HSV accepted but he said no thanks. Cesar Delgado, Carlos Tevez and Vincent Kompany just signed for Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Real Betis respectively so it looks like I'll be playing the first season with basically the same squad I started with.
